Analyze substation transformers for defects to
avoid potentially dangerous conditions caused by partial discharge.
Listen for the mechanical noises produced by loose parts and the
destructive arching in tap changers. Monitor the oil cooling pumps for
laminar flow, turbulent flow and cavitations. Set up a predictive
maintenance schedule to periodically test transformers to prevent costly
maintenance and maintain safe operating conditions.

The 50
SONIC/ULTRASONIC LEAK DETECTOR is a single display, digital
readout, portable leak detector. Bright red digits display the energy
level of the sound source with four digit accuracy. A converter circuit
in the leak detector converts the ultrasonic energy to audible energy
for listening on headphones. The 50 measures 8"D X 2.5"H X
5" W and weighs 3 lbs. It uses a 6V lead acid battery with an 8
hour life.

Connect the T5-3 Air
Probe to the 50U with a coax cable and scan an area for high pressure
air, gas or steam leaks that travel through the air. Test distances of
25 feet are common for small, 60psi leaks. Connect the T5-4
Accelerometer Probe and touch a steam trap, valve stem or valve body to
detect leaks.
